Youth & Teen Fitness

JCC Youth Fitness Mission:
Our mission, as the leading youth fitness program provider in York County, is to enhance the community's youth
through fun and functional movements designed around educational and creative activities.

JCC Youth Fitness Vision:
To be regarded as a provider of youth fitness programs that create lifetime movers.

It all starts here!

Before they become great athletes, they have to start somewhere. Children need to learn the basics, develop skills and practice fundamentals. The best place for them to start is right here at the York JCC.
Children thrive in our classes taught by patient and supportive instructors knowledgeable in child development. We are your child's first positive experience with fitness!
The JCC is your place to enjoy both organized and recreational sports. These classes present healthy exercise, discipline, team spirit, positive self esteem, competition and a chance to interact with peers. As a SPARK agency, our programs are designed to provide lots of activity, while being academically integrated. We encourage healthy lifestyles and focus on improving motor skills and movement knowledge, and social and personal skills.

Our gym is equipped with two regulation nets located at either end of the gym that make up a regulation basketball court. We also have two portable adjustable basketball rims that can be adjusted for children. We are also able to set up our gym for three volleyball nets. The gym can be divided in half with our drop down curtain for extra privacy.

For a complete list of youth programs, go to the Youth section of the JCC Program Guide.
